I would be surprised if there are many. In WW2 many persons of high journalistic talent did their bit spying against the fascist menace ; some of the most talented turned out to have Soviet sympathies. The CIA still has much to offer to ambitious talents, but today I suspect, mediocrities and fantasists are the most likely recruits to MI6. The Guardian of course is heavily tainted by its servile association with the D-notice committee, and the BBC has been known to do MI bidding, so there are links to expose, but I doubt staff writers are actual ex spooks.
